The two countertop basins in our Inverurie bathroom sit against pale fitted furniture and a tiled feature strip, with daylight from a roof window. Two bowls introduce a set of relationships that are easy to miss when each fitting is chosen separately. Even a small difference between the bowl positions and their surroundings can be conspicuous when they are seen side by side.
We start with a single measured elevation of the full run before agreeing positions. Mark the bowl centres, the tap centres and the edges of the feature strip. Compare those marks with the cabinet divisions and the usable space at either end. You can then decide whether the visual centre of the run and the best positions for the two bowls coincide. This is where a carefully drawn pair starts to look and work like part of one bathroom.
